I don’t want to be the judge here or anything. Just wondering if a religious sub belongs in an instance with nothing anti-science as a rule. If its fine by everyone and the admin, its fine by me. I’d just block the community. Just felt wrong to see a Catholicism community in local.
I won’t go down voting the community or anything, we’ve got enough of those people here
Religion is literally the opposite of Science. Religion is 100% made up. (Do we still build temples to Zeus? no). Science is evidence based. Religion is used to ‘explain’ all the things (wrongly) that Science eventually figured out. The closest thing you will ever find to god is the Sun, without it we perish. Also, it was the original worshiped ‘god’. Just food for thought.
Lucky for me, I’m still part of a religion that worships the sun. We are finally vindicated! /s
I guess that depends on whether you accept the existence of other sun gods.
The solar energy is One, my child. /s

That’s like asking someone who likes apples if they’d accept a pomme, apfel, manzana, or яблоко.
I think it’s more like asking an apple fan if they believe other fruits exist?
Not really, there are lots of gods, sun gods are a specific subset. Different “sun gods” are just different names and attributions to the sun, like different languages have different names for apples.
and science becomes it’s own religion surprisingly quickly if you are not careful.
This can be true. Anything can be a ‘religion’ if you become unreasonably obsessed. Science can never be a religion because the whole point of science is to always question, and the point of religion is to never question.
lol ok

I think you’re mixing up primitive mysticisms and the modern variants of religion. There are, actually, some things both science and christianity struggle to explain. Of course, both say they do, but a fool-proof argument isn’t readily available. If you’re open to it, approaching the fine-tuning argument from both the atheist and theistic perspectives is extremely interesting. Both have very good points.
I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but is there something you can name that religion does explain without relying on faith of some kind? I would never claim science has all the answers, but if I’m going to attempt to take religion seriously it has to start by giving at least a single answer.
Science does not have all the answers. We utilize Science to find answers, with valid evidence, to the questions we have. Religion just makes up stories to explain things that are actually untrue. Science is doing the work to get a true answer. Religion is just a ‘feeling’.
I don’t disagree.
Well, no. Religion is nothing without faith. You have to be personally called to that faith in order to be able to explain things to yourself in a religious manner. I’ll recommend this video, though.
Thanks, I’ll check it out later tonight.
No one is ever “called to faith”. You either buy the lie or you don’t. ‘faith’ does not exist. ‘faith’ is your willingness to believe that which is not real. It’s called lying to yourself.
Thanks bro, I didn’t realise that. lmao
We don’t know the first God, Trees are just as likely for instance l, they’re nigh immortal, feed your family, and provides shelter
